We tried to fill the tear trough with filler again and its not filling What could it be? How do i get rid of this fluid?

To begin you will need to find the underlying cause of the fluid build up.  It could be from allergies, inflammation, or another cause.  Once the cause can be identified proper treatment can reduce the fluid.  At that point you may have better outcomes from filler.  Your primary care doctor or allergy specialist may be able to help identify what is occurring.

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

It is possible that the fluid in the tear trough is a result of swelling or inflammation from the previous filler injections or the dissolution of the filler. It is important to follow up with your dermatologist to have them evaluate and assess the area. They may suggest further treatment options such as a hyaluronidase injection to dissolve any remaining filler or recommend an alternative filler injection technique. Additionally, they may suggest prescribing medication to help reduce the fluid and inflammation. It is recommended to avoid any excessive rubbing or massaging of the area to prevent any further complications or infection.
